Draco Malfoy and the Magic World

Yesterday I went to bed early to sleep. I had read the whole book on advanced dark arts, learning occlumency was going to be a headache but it would be necessary.

I asked Cherry to make me some valerian tea, it was going to make me fall asleep faster than expected. As there was so much tension built up, my body wouldn't resist the sleeping pill and I would fall asleep on the sheets.

When I woke up I saw a beautiful sunrise through the window. I decided to sneak out of my room, what better day than to start the day flying through the sky while the sun was rising?

I left the mansion and went to the backyard. During my birthdays my brothers would come to me and sing me mañanitas, I was going to miss that. I was no longer on the other side of the world, in a poor and corrupt country. I was now living in England, Great Britain, I doubt the English would know what ranchers or salsas were. I was going to miss the carnival.

But instead of dwelling on my past life, I decided to start my own birthday by singing to myself

This is "Las Mañanitas"

that King David sang

to the pretty girls;

As we sing them to you.

Wake up, my love, wake up.

Look at what has dawned,

Already the little birds are singing,

The moon already went in.

How pretty is the morning

In which I come to greet you.

We all came with pleasure

and joy to congratulate you.

On the day you were born

All the flowers were born.

At the baptismal font

The nightingales sang.

It is starting to be dawn,

The day has given us light.

Get up in the morning,

Look at what has already dawned.

I would like to be a little sunlight

To go in through your window

And tell you "Good Morning"

While you're lying in your bed.

I would like to be Saint John,

I would like to be Saint Peter,

To come sing to you

with music from heaven.

With jasmine and flowers

Today I come to greet you,

Today being your Saint's Day,

We came to sing to you.

The cake would be in front of me, Chris and Brandon singing along with me.

Now I do thank you for your favor, Mr. Serene Man

Light up your indemnity

It's all over now my love

Golden Amapolita from the plains of Tepic

If you're not in love, fall in love with me

Wake up my well awake

Look it's already dawn

And the birds are singing

The moon has risen

The sun was at its peak, flying was exciting and no longer scary. My eyes didn't mist over with tears, I was at peace with myself...

As I descended into the back garden I heard a commotion in the mansion. It seems I disappeared for a long time, what time would it be... Mum and Dad came out making rumbles.

- "Draco!" - They shouted angrily, and I laughed inwardly.

- "Good morning," - I said with a big smile

- "Draco I swear that one of these days you'll give me a heart attack," - Mum hugged me tightly, - "Happy birthday, my love."

- "Thank you, Mum" - I hugged her. She must have felt anxious, I understood her...

- "Draco, you really are..." - Dad came over to us, I pulled away from Mum and hugged him. Dad tensed up but I knew that deep down he was happy.

- "I'm sorry. I just woke up early and wanted to see the sunrise from the top."

- "Silly boy" - Dad struggled to hug me. I looked up and met his icy gaze but I could tell his ears were red - "you had me worried."

- "hehe Dad"

- "Mmm"

- "Lean in a little" - Dad listened to me. There was no harm in trying, I kissed his cheek and smiled at him as if I had committed a prank - "I love you so much" - My cheeks burned.

Dad was impressed, I heard a giggle. I heard a giggle.

I let go of Dad and went over to Mum, I kissed her too. Mum didn't hesitate for a second and hugged me.

Yes... I was ready to take on my new life.

We had a nice breakfast in the morning. Dad had my former self's favorite breakfast prepared. The truth was that I didn't like pancakes, they were too greasy but I forced myself to eat them. At least I got a cup of coffee with milk and a fruit salad.

Dad had to go to the ministry for a while to take care of some business. He asked us to be ready by noon. Mum sent me to bathe and get ready.

I listened to Mum and went to get ready. I looked in my wardrobe and sorted out my best clothes, although most of them were dark. I loved that color, it went with everything.

I went to the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water. I separated some salts and oils, undressed quickly, and got into the tub.

I didn't rush because it was still early, I took the bath early and enjoyed the tub full of hot water, the salts and oils made my body relax.

When I finished, I got out of the bath and got dressed in the clothes I had set aside. I was about to put on my shoes when suddenly Mum came in.

- "Draco" - Mum was holding some clothes in her hands. I looked at the suit, it looked very expensive but it wasn't my style - "Honey, put this on to go out."

- "But Mum! We're supposed to be going to the Muggle world, we don't want to attract so much attention,"

Mum frowned. - "Draco, you're a Malfoy, as such you should dress appropriately."

- "Mum, honestly, I don't think it's necessary to wear that. Besides, I'm already ready" - Mother looked at my whole body, and shrugged - "That suit can be used later, don't make such a big deal out of it. Dress casually, I don't think you'd like Muggles to see you as a model, would you?"

- "What are you insinuating Draco," - She seemed to be annoyed.

- "Mother, you are very beautiful. But even I, your son, get jealous of others seeing you. Imagine if I get annoyed, how will Dad get" - Mum pondered my words, it seems I was able to convince her.

- "Fine, but Draco Lucius Malfoy Black you better behave yourself!" - Mum grimaced and walked out of my room.

Great, let's hope Mum doesn't dress like a queen and just looks like a casual woman, who has money but is casual.

I hurried to dry my hair and then combed it, Mum had given me a special hair oil, argan, it amazes me that wizards use this oil to take care of their hair. But it seems that for them it was just a mere trinket sold at a low price, in the muggle world we sell it at a very high price.

Well, I applied the oil to my hair and combed it through to smooth the ends.

I left my room and went to my parent's room. I knocked twice to go in, Mum permitted me and I went into the room. When I went in I almost fell backward, my mother was dressed like a diva.

- "Mum..." - I looked her up and down, her dress was very eye-catching and she had very expensive jewelry! Did she want us to be robbed? - "Mum, that's not casual"

- "Nonsense, Draco," - Mother scolded, "and what do you think would be casual?" - Mother raised an eyebrow.

- "Mmm don't you have a long skirt and a shirt?"

- "Mmm let me see" - Mother looked in her wardrobe.

I was shocked why she had so many things but they were all very expensive and quite extravagant until I saw an elegant and simple shirt and a long red skirt.

- "These!" - I pointed to the shirt and skirt. Mum looked at me strangely, as if I had gone crazy. Woman, you must understand that this way you are attracting the attention of the thugs! - "Mum, don't look at me like that. You'll see that you look good in it."

- "You're a real case..."

Mum annoyingly took the skirt and shirt, she didn't seem to like those clothes very much. But she still took them and went to the bathroom to change.

I waited for a while until she came out, I was open-mouthed, those clothes did match, Mother wore them very well with her slender body, the skirt reached her knees, the shirt had long and loose sleeves, and mother tucked the shirt inside the skirt making the torso part stick to her body and only the sleeves were loose on her arms. She looked very pretty, we just needed to fix her hair and put on a simple make-up.

- "I feel strange" - Complained Mum.

- "You look very pretty" - I assured her. Ahhh how envious - "You just need to comb your hair and put on some light make-up."

Mum, still puzzled, first looked at herself in the mirror, even she was impressed by the image it reflected. She looked somewhere between a person of high status and casual at the same time.

She combed her hair and put on light makeup. In the end, she looked beautiful, if mother would use a more simple yet formal style, it would make her look like a magnetic and special woman.

Mother and I went to the terrace to have some tea. We were waiting for Father.

Dad came earlier than usual when he saw Mother he was open-mouthed. Yes, even I was stunned. Mother felt uncomfortable but smiled at Dad anyway.

- "You look beautiful," - Dad kissed her.

- "Yes, but it's awkward. It's not my style"

- "Nonsense" - Dad now admonished Mom. She pouted - "Well, shall we go?"

- "Just a moment Dad" - Dad stopped. He too was out of place, Mum looked at me and I at her - "You need to change."

Dad looked at me in surprise - "Draco don't be funny."

- "And I'm telling you you're out of place, aren't you mum" - Mum looked at Dad and then at me. Then she looked at herself.

- "Honey, you don't fit in with us" - 'Exactly.'

I had to force Dad to change out of his long robes. Dad's style was similar to mine, so I chose to have him wear navy blue trousers, a black shirt, and a long black coat, his hair was combed into a low ponytail. Dad himself felt strange when mum saw him she was amazed, my masterpiece was perfect.

- "Honey you look younger" - She even said the same thing as me. Dad looked younger in casual clothes.

- "Well, I feel weird," - Dad grunted.

- "Hahaha that's what I was saying. But well, what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Dad used a shuttle to take us anonymously to the muggle world.

When we arrived we appeared in an alley, Dad looked at us and asked if we were okay. Mum and I nodded. We looked both ways to make sure we were safe, we walked out of the alley holding hands.

We were in a very ugly street, I was sure Dad did it on purpose.

- "Dad, why are we on a street like this?"

Dad had a sly twinkle in his eye. - "So you can see how vulgar these people are" - That made me angry.

- "How about we take a ride?"

- "Ok..."

I hurried to hail a taxi. Dad looked surprised, I told the taxi driver to take us to the mall, he gave us a high fare but I put my foot down and put him in his place.

- "Look, sir, just because we are foreigners doesn't give you the right to abuse our pockets. Either give us a comfortable fare or get lost" - The simple fact that I had caught this peep made him shrug his shoulders in embarrassment.

- "Right."

The taxi driver gave us a low fare, and Dad and Mum boarded the taxi. Mum grimaced as she smelled the interior. She shouldn't get her hopes up, Dad picked the worst place to show up.

About thirty minutes passed and we arrived on nicer streets, the facades of the buildings looked better and there were flat screens showing commercials. Mum looked amazed. We stopped in front of the door of the shopping center.

I didn't expect it to be so big, the building was made of moons and there were screens in the middle along with lights.

I paid the taxi driver, Dad himself was already eyeing me with suspicion.

- "It's amazing what you'll manage to see through that guy's lie, Draco."

- "Simple logic Dad" - I told him without interest - "We have blond to white hair, our eye color is unusual and our demeanor is tall. The guy saw that we were rich and wanted to ask for more."

- "Very smart, sweetheart. And, Lucius, don't question our son. The guy needs to be put in his place" - Mother caught Daddy's eye.

We entered the mall, my goal was fixed on buying books, a smartphone, a laptop, a music player, and music records.

- "Let's go..."

The rest of the day we wandered around the mall, against all odds Mum went into some clothing shops and bought several things. Dad kept his nasty expression at bay, even more so when I asked him to buy me a mobile phone.

I know he would be suspicious of me but I did it anyway, I wanted a mobile phone to record all my information, having everything in a book wasn't safe but making an electronic diary was better than having one on hand for everyone to see.

Dad sent me a suspicious look but mother admonished him and said it was my birthday.

Anything I asked for I would get that day, so I didn't care what Dad said and went on with my shopping.

- "Son, are you sure we can handle all these bags?"

- "Mmm right. Dad, do you have any enchanted bags or purses?"

Father knew what I meant, my books were the ones that weighed the most. When I entered the bookshop I didn't hesitate for a second and started looking for Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Oh, Father almost fainted when he saw the mountain of books I bought. At least we got a discount and the gift of two books for the purchase.

- "Yes I got one but I don't think you want to disappear all that stuff in front of so many muggles."

- "Oh, let's not make trouble for ourselves. Let's go to a corner and put those things in" - I just took them to the security stairs, very few people were going up there - "Look, let's go in that door. It says it's the security stairs."

Dad frowned and followed me and Mum. When we got inside we were on the first floor and the stairs were between the upstairs and the downstairs.

- "Now, quick. Let's get everything in" - Dad took out a small leather bag and opened it for us to put everything in.

My books and music albums went in very easily. Mum also put in her bags of clothes and perfume. I left the mobile phone out because I needed to set it up.

- "That's it! Now let's get going!"

We left the security stairs and continued to walk around the center. Now I was missing my laptop and music player, Mum was not affected by the number of people in the center, in fact, she had adapted easily. Dad was no longer tense but still had an icy look on his face.

- "Dad! Look." - We were in front of the computer shop. I looked at a late-model laptop - "Let's go in..."

Dad rolled his eyes and Mum just laughed.

In the end, we bought a laptop with an external memory. I was missing the music player, we saw that in the shop continuously. Dad was already growing grey hair and his suspicions were deep.

As the music player was the last thing we bought. I told them I was hungry, the food court was nearby and there were several fancy restaurants.

Mum didn't seem sure of what I said and Dad even less so.

Still, I insisted and they told me to pick the place. One of the restaurants near the entrance to the center caught my eye, I knew the name, I just never thought it was also in England.

- "How about eating here?"

The time had gone by too fast, I never thought I would have fun shopping. Dad and Mum entered the restaurant with me, the waiter who served us was very kind and attentive. I had to take the menu quickly and order myself what my parents would eat, although mum was annoyed because I intercepted the question the waiter asked her, I was relieved because I had avoided any suspicion from the waiter or weird looks.

- "Waoo, it's late already." - The sky was painted orange and yellow. Mum herself nodded in compression.

- "Yes, I'm tired. We've been walking around downtown all day, my feet already hurt from all the walking."

- "I understand you, Cissy. But it was dragon who suggested visiting all those shops," - I smiled shamelessly.

Dad still had that suspicious look on his face but I stood my ground, looking him straight in the eye. I felt a pang in my mind but I ignored it, Dad changed his expression from suspicious to surprised.

- "Is something wrong Dad?"

- "No, nothing..."

The waiter didn't take long to bring the dishes I ordered, I ate eagerly, standing all day, walking, and carrying things gives you an appetite. Mum and Dad were tasting the dishes I ordered for them, Mum seemed to like her dish and Dad didn't express any emotion.

I asked them to bring a pitcher of soda, Dad always ate his lunches with a glass of wine but I didn't think it would be good for him to drink liquor for now....

After lunch, we left the mall and walked to an alley. Dad activated the shuttle and we were at Malfoy Manor in the blink of an eye.

- "I'm sleepy..." - I rubbed my eyes, and Mum gave me a tender look - "I'm going to sleep, Mum... Dad" - I yawned.

- "Go and get some rest son, then pick up your presents."

I went to my room, and the moment I got into bed, I fell asleep. But not before thinking that this was the best birthday I could have ever had.
